Aspholm-Hurtig, Marina, Dailide, Giedrius, Lahmann, Martina, Kalia, Awdhesh, Ilver, Dag, Roche, Niamh, ...
Adherence by Helicobacter pylori increases the risk of gastric disease. Here, we report that more than 95% of strains that bind fucosylated blood group antigen bind A, B, and O antigens...
Transcellular Passage of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Involves Pilus Phase Variation
Ilver, Dag, Källström, Helena, Normark, Staffan, Jonsson, Ann-Beth
Piliated and nonpiliated Neisseria gonorrhoeae organisms were added on top of confluent layers of HEC-1-B cells, each maintained on a microporous Transwell-COL membrane. The bacteria released into...

The Helicobacter pylori Vacuolating Toxin Inhibits T Cell Activation by Two Independent Mechanisms
Boncristiano, Marianna, Paccani, Silvia Rossi, Barone, Silvia, Ulivieri, Cristina, Patrussi, Laura, Ilver, Dag, ...
Helicobacter pylori toxin, VacA, damages the gastric epithelium by erosion and loosening of tight junctions. Here we report that VacA also interferes with T cell activation by two different...
